Spitefulness From The DOM

Post by Syze »

I'm a 30 hour contract and the last couple of moths have been doing 4 days at 7.5 hours rather than 5 at 6 hours and I've been loving it. Don't mid doing a bit of overtime but not enough for the DOM who has been trying to bully me into doing more. I won't so out of spite he's put me back on 5 days. Well I'm going to show him what spite truly is. 6 hours will be 6 hours, not 6 and half, not 6 and 10 mins, not even 6 and 1 minute. Lets see how he likes that...

So you have had 28 written days notice of a change in hours? If you want to play hardball, don't roll over on their command...

Spitefulness From The DOM

I think that is a new training course that they are required to attend, either that or every DOM is just a moody, nasty, vicious, jumped up, little Hitler.

Note: This is my opinion only, based upon my experiences within RM.

How does that work,does he magically make up duty patterns,is there a rep involved?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
